RHINO FERRIES.
“Rhino Ferries,” designed by Navy’s Civil Engineering Corps to bridge the gap between ship and shore, are pontoons owered by two outboard motors of 143 hp and complete with steering gear. Ferries are formed of 30 pontoons in length by 6’ wide, displaced approximately 275 tons, speed of about 4 knots and a shallower draft than LST’s. Ferry in profile, as it moves toward the shore with a full cargo topside. They can carry every type of cargo and land on almost any type of shore. Photograph received 6 June 1944.

Two enormous gyroscopes being installed in the USS Henderson as a roll stabilizing system during its construction in April 1917 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in World War 1.
The Henderson, a transport of 80 ton displacement, was the first large ship to be gyroscopically stabilized to prevent the ship from rolling from side to side with ocean swells.
The gyros, built by Sperry Rand, consist of two 25 ton, 9 ft diameter flywheels which during operation are spun at 1100 RPM in opposite directions by 75 HP AC electric motors.
Each gyro case is mounted on a vertical bearing which can be turned by a 75 HP servo motor. When a small sensor gyro on the ship's bridge sensed the ship roll, it ordered the servo motor to rotate the gyros about the vertical axis in a direction so the gyro's precession would oppose the ship's roll.
During trials they were able to keep the ship roll down to 3 degrees in the roughest seas.
This technology was replaced by roll stabilizer fins and is not used today.

It looks more like an AI photo of what we might see with super vision.

#1 Mountain climbing is potentially deadly.

#2 Vinegar and baking soda independently will clean stuff (acid and base). But if you mix them, they neutralize each other which kills the cleaning capability of both. Then you add a dishwashing tablet (why not just some dish soap?). Then you add coke and lemon juice, so you're back to an acid (2 of them). So that seems like someone read one of those home made cleaning things and decided "if all of these things work, they should work even better if you mix them all!"

#3 No, no, nope. No idea why someone felt the need to combine a statue of a woman and a relief map of the moon with all of the craters. I wonder if that is AI or real.

Out of respect for our eyes, I will not repost the picture of the statue, but I think that is Kim Kardashian's derriere.
Based on un-photoshoppped images I have had the misfortune to chance upon.

That's not a Shelby, unless the owner converted it back to standard fastback Mustang body configuration. More likely its a GTA.

^^^ yeah I noticed that also. Wrong taillights for sure.
